5-string

alright i wanna get a new bass.. i want to get a 5-string, and i wanna know what bass is the best for like $300? i've heard a lot of bad stuff about ibanez's (at least the cheap ones) and washburn's are too expensive. (must note: i'm only 13)

In GuitarCenter the other day and played a Squire 5 string. They had two, both with very nice finishes. One however was
un-playable, the neck had such a bow I doubt it could be adjusted out. The second was set up pretty well and didn't feel as cheap as I thought it would.
I have not run across a lot of used, cheap, 5ers yet. But they will probably start popping up as more young players decide it is not for them. And probably not a lot of cheapies out there to begin with.
Ebay does have them pop up every now and then.
